It is a pain in the UK, took me a while to find my s3, just be patient and something will come up.

S2, W-Nikkor 2.8cm/f3.5, Ilford XP2. I really relied on my little 28 a lot lately; probably because I like the 28mm finder so much!

Lots of great photos here, everyone. Especially of your cameras.
Well, lets see. I've got an 85/2, a 3.5/3.5 coming, a Varifocal finder, caps and cases for the 35 and 50, and a couple other assorted items I've picked up here and there (Thanks, Tom, for the film cans). All I need is an S2 with a 50/2 or 1.4, and I'm in like Flynn. Oh, and I've got a Model 1 Pistol Grip, though for the life of me can't figure out when I'd need it.
I did my best to emulate the rangefinder experience today with a Nikkormat, and 35/2.8-50/2-105/2.5 Nikkors. I could have taken the Canon P with the 35 LTM Nikkor, but it caps pretty bad.

Not at all, Westminster is fantasy land in pricing on the system, ( a bit like the Westminster bit- check the address, your geography has to be very poor to class that as Westminster) spread your net a little, my advice avoid e-bay, try these:
Peter Loy, has even Olympic bodies in stock:
http://www.peterloy.com/stock-list.php
Vintage Classic, low on bodies at the moment but always competitive on price.
http://vintageclassiccamera.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=36
Aperture, Steady flow of bodies and lenses, reasonable prices.

Bear in mind all these will stand by their sales with a warranty, good luck with that on the bay.
Here's some shots taken today at Ueno Park in Tokyo with a W-Nikkor 3.5cm F1.8 lens. March 31st!!! Just in a nick of time for Nikon RF month. The lens is a Nikkor, but I cheated somewhat as its an LTM version and was mounted on a Leica MP, not a Nikon rangefinder 😛
The cherry blossoms are in bloom in Tokyo now, and Ueno Park is one of the most famous spots to view them, so it was wall to wall people. There were lots of tourists wandering through, and lots of locals with sheets laid out claiming spots for drinking parties with friends and co-workers which were either already under way or would begin later in the evening.

Very joyful series Jon! I am happy you choose for B+W. I can't stand the color of cherryblossoms anymore, but now I can enjoy them too!

Great series of Sakura time! I miss Yokohama. Looks like it was shot in the park along the harbour too.We should introduce the Sakura bash to Vancouver. Sitting under the blooming trees and slowly getting bombed on sake/beer.

Yes great series indeed thanks for posting, one and half rolls left to process here, I'll shoot off the half in the morning but they will not count, won't be as good as those though, love the shoes well framed for those in particular.

I had one of my old, chrome Nikkor 35f25's "fixed". Focus was stiff. Always amazes me how good the 35f2.5 is and this lens is sharp, really sharp with that nice early 60's contrast too.
Nikon SP, Nikkor 35f2.5 post service. Orwo UN 54 at 100 iso, D23 two bath developer.
Oh, the total outlay for this kit was $0.00. Camera was given to me as was the lens as both "donors" thought they were just too beat up..
